III. Question 2 Implementation Task Force Background

Background March 17, 2017

Temporary Retail Marijuana Program

The Department of Taxation is developing a temporary program to allow for a one-time issuance of licenses to Medical Marijuana Establishment registration certificate holders that are in good standing and operational.

− Limited to the same license type they currently hold − One new license category: Marijuana Distributors;

these licenses will only be issued to current licensed liquor wholesalers, currently licensed medical marijuana establishments, and those who currently hold a valid agent card under the Medical Marijuana Program

− Good until 45 days after permanent regulations are adopted

− Must apply through permanent license process to maintain license

− Will piggyback on Medical Marijuana Program’s regulatory and enforcement scheme

Timeline: • March 29 – Public workshop on draft temporary regulations

(T002-17) • May 8 – Adoption hearing at Nevada Tax Commission • After regulations are adopted – Begin accepting applications • July 1 – Start issuing licenses
